The updated National Security Strategy of Lithuania outlines vital policies aimed at ensuring a secure state and enhancing national defense capabilities. The primary objective of this document is to strengthen deterrence measures and prepare the state for potential military aggression. It categorizes updated priorities and tasks into three major areas: armed defense, support for armed defense, and enhancing state resilience, while also integrating into an international security system aligned with Lithuania's interests.

The document highlights the existential threat posed to Lithuania and the entire Euro-Atlantic community, exacerbated by the likelihood that Russia could develop capabilities by 2030 to conduct large-scale conventional warfare against NATO. This marks a significant shift in the security landscape of the region, indicating an urgent need for countries in the vicinity to bolster their defense strategies in response to potential aggression from Russia.

Additionally, the strategy addresses threats from foreign intelligence services of hostile states and the engagement of the Belarusian regime in the ongoing war against Ukraine. This underscores the complexity of the regional security environment, where alliances and external pressures significantly impact national security considerations. The revised strategy serves as a crucial framework for Lithuania to navigate these challenges effectively and ensure its sovereignty and safety in a volatile geopolitical landscape.
